«Nathan der Weise / Minna von Barnhelm» is a theatre volume by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing published by Swan Buch-Vertrieb (paperback, 224 pp., German).
The volume brings together two classic works of German theatre: «Nathan the Wise» is a plea for religious tolerance and understanding between cultures, while «Minna von Barnhelm» is a comedy about love relationships and social conflicts in eighteenth-century Prussia. Both works explore reason and humanity.
The edition is from 1993 and, according to the cover, both works belong to the series Die deutschen Klassiker.
Designed as Schullektüre, it is a handy edition for school reading and the study of German literature in its original language.
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was a German philosopher, dramatist, publicist and art critic. He was a representative of the Enlightenment. His plays and theoretical writings substantially influenced the development of German literature. He is widely considered by theatre historians to be the first dramaturg in his role at Abel Seyler's Hamburg National Theatre. The word "dramaturgy" first appears in his work Hamburg Dramaturgy.
